Question 1

What is Dermaplaning?

Accepted Answer

Dermaplaning is a professional exfoliation treatment that uses a sterile surgical blade to gently scrape away dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (peach fuzz) from the face. At our Grays clinic, it is a favourite for achieving an instant glow.

Question 2

Will my facial hair grow back thicker or darker?

Accepted Answer

No. This is a common myth. Dermaplaning targets vellus hair (peach fuzz), which is physiologically different from terminal hair. Your hair will grow back at the same rate and texture as it was before the treatment at Bella Mai Essex.

Question 3

Is Dermaplaning painful?

Accepted Answer

Not at all. Most of our Essex clients find the sensation quite relaxing. It feels like a light scraping or brushing against the skin; there is no pain and no need for numbing cream.

Question 4

How often should I have the treatment?

Accepted Answer

For the best results, we recommend a Dermaplaning facial every 4 to 6 weeks. This aligns with your skin’s natural 30-day rejuvenation cycle, ensuring your skin remains consistently smooth and bright.

Question 5

Are there any side effects?

Accepted Answer

Dermaplaning is a low-risk treatment. Some clients may experience slight redness immediately after the session, but this typically subsides within an hour. We apply soothing products to ensure your skin feels hydrated and calm.

Question 6

Can I have Dermaplaning if I have active acne?

Accepted Answer

If you have an active, inflammatory acne breakout, we recommend waiting until the skin has cleared before having Dermaplaning. However, it is excellent for fading the post-inflammatory scars left behind by previous breakouts.

Question 7

What is included in the Dermaplaning packages?

Accepted Answer

At Bella Mai Essex, we offer standalone treatments as well as Medium and Full packages. Our luxury packages can include LED Light Therapy and specialized masks to further boost your skin's health and radiance.

Question 8

Is there any downtime?

Accepted Answer

There is zero downtime. You can return to your normal activities in Grays immediately. We simply advise that you avoid direct sun exposure and wear a high-factor SPF, as your 'fresh' skin will be more sensitive to UV rays.

Question 9

Can I wear makeup after the treatment?

Accepted Answer

We recommend waiting 24 hours before applying makeup to allow your skin to breathe and to prevent any irritation to the newly exfoliated surface.

Question 10

How long does the appointment take?

Accepted Answer

A standard Dermaplaning session at our Essex studio takes about 30 to 45 minutes. If you opt for one of our luxury packages with LED therapy, it may take up to an hour.

Question 11

Can Dermaplaning be combined with other treatments?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Dermaplaning is often paired with LED Light Therapy or Chemical Peels (depending on skin type) to enhance the overall results. We can discuss the best combination for your skin during your visit.
